Vendor Description

Holder Printworks in Madison, Wisconsin, was created as a labor of love. The owner made his first home movie in 2002, an hour-long video of his six-month-old son that delighted both friends and family. Then, he began doing video projects for friends. Once he realized how grateful and happy his “customers” were, he decided to take his passion for creating audio-visual projects and channel it into a business.

Since opening in 2003, Holder Printworks has processed more than 600,000 feet of film and 100,000 slides, scanned thousands of photos, and digitized hundreds of home movies. Through these many projects, they have seen Elvis play football in Germany, witnessed Vietnam battles, and seen families travel to all corners of the globe on amazing vacations. Holder Printworks has also worked closely with the Wisconsin Historical Society, UW-Whitewater and UW- Stevens Point Archives and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. They can handle just about any media format from 16mm film to 4k Video, Reel to Reel audio to DAT and Stereo slides to delicate prints.

QuestionPoint
http://www.questionpoint.org/

QuestionPoint provides a complete virtual reference management system, integrating chat, e-mail, a reference knowledge base, reports and analytic tools to give you a complete view of reference activity. Expand your hours of service to offer live help anytime through membership in the 24/7 Reference Cooperative.

QuestionPoint is different because it’s based on sharing—with the library down the street, on the other side of the state or across the globe. By sharing staff time, QuestionPoint libraries can extend their hours of online service and join a global community of reference professionals. QuestionPoint’s flexible group options allow libraries to support existing relationships (within a library system, local consortium or statewide group, for example), while participating in the global QuestionPoint cooperative. And for libraries needing around-the-clock service, QuestionPoint offers backup coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your users—a level of customer service that more and more people are coming to expect.

QuestionPoint includes access to both local and global knowledge bases added by member libraries. Your library can maintain a local knowledge base for itself or as part of a group—a key reference resource customized to your library and your users’ needs. You can also use and contribute to the global reference knowledge base that is cooperatively built by all QuestionPoint members.
